While most college stu-dents
were relaxing at
hone with family and fri-ends,
other students from
the U.S. and Canada were
travelling by bus, plane or
car to Urbana, Illinois, for
the 13th annual student
missions convention spon-sored
by Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship.
Each day was packed
with speakers, seminars,
small-group Bible study
and prayer groups in the
dorms, missionary display
tables in the Assembly
Hall, and most of all Chris-tian
fellowship.
"Let Every Tongue Con-fess
That Jesus Christ is
Lord" was the theme and
main ideas presented by
the speakers included the
belief that every Christian
is called to serve God. The
role of the church is vital
role in the church by Ge-orge
Canon, associate pro-fessor
of New Testament
at Bethel Seminary; single-ness

of women; and Lindblade
giving a seminar on the
topic "Does Christ's work
on the cross make a differ-ence
in dominant/subor-dinate
male-female rela-tionships?"
The conference is open
to all college and seminary
students, as well as inter-ested
faculty and admin-istration.
It was put to-gether
by a committee in-terested
in these issues
and in making the Bethel
community aware of them.

August he assumes the

in sending out mission-aries,
and supporting a
missionary prayerfully and
financially is also a calling
of God and is a very neces-sary
and important role,
said one speaker. Commit-ment
to God is not some-thing
to be taken lightly—
it demands our all—was
another key emphasis.
Although students were
instructed to get plenty of
sleep before they came
most hadn't planned on
the day beginning at 6:15
a.m. or even earlier. Eric
Alexander, pastor from a
church in Scotland, led an
exposition on the book of
Acts every morning. Other
speakers were Gordon
MacDonald who spoke on
"Sending Out The Wit-ness"
and Rebecca Manley
Pippert, author of Out of
the Salt Shaker, who
spoke about "Making Je-sus
Christ Lord Now."
"If you don't meet God
here, it isn't because he
didn't show," said one
speaker. A message on
commitment to Christ was
given by Billy Graham, af-ter
which many students
stood to publicly re-affirm
their salvation, and some
accepted Christ into their
lives for the first time.
Missionaries Helen
Roseveare, M.D., Marilyn
Lazslo and Eva den Har-tod
each gave moving ac-counts
of what God is do-ing
in their mission fields.
Their emotion packed sto-ries
stirred the crowd, and
the speakers received stand-ing
ovations.
Urbana ended with a
communion service on
New Year's Eve with
14,000 people participating
in the Lord's Supper toget-her,
praising God and re-committing
their lives to
Him.
Even waiting in lines
was not bothersome, as it
was easy to strike up a
conversation with others
during the conference.
Talking with other stu-dents
from various back-grounds
with different
talents, abilities and ex-pectations
was a highlight
of the convention for many
students.
Students had the oppor-tunity
to participate in the
conference by singing in a
special choir one evening,
or to help serve commun-ion
on the last evening of
the convention.
During one of the morn-ing
meetings in the Assem-bly
Hall, large chunks of
melting ice began to fall
from the roof. Students
were instructed to leave
through the one exit with
a canopy over it to avoid
falling ice. Although lines
were long and moving
slowly, a group of students
began singing hymns as
they filed out. Later that
evening the local news car-ried
a story about Urbana
students singing praises
as they left the Assembly
Hall.
Small Bible study groups
with a missions emphasis
are being started at Bethel,

Five days in India: Klaudt's impressions
by Kraig Klaudt
(Editor's Note: Kraig is currently spending
Interim traveling through India and study-ing
the religions of the country. This column
comes from Rajapalayam, approximately 50
miles south of Madurai in southern India.)
Saturday, December 19
My first impressions of India came a Madras,
described by my traveling companion, Nathaniel
Ratnasamy, as an "overgrown village."
The primary roads are colorfully commercialized.
Handpainted advertisements decorate every wall mak-ing
the town appear as an impoverished Disneyland.
Small, open-front shops line the street as in a carnival.
Each carries one line of merchandise, be it fabric,
grains, woodcarvings or so-called "Western" goods,
such as radios and cosmetics.
People are forever running errands or constructing
buildings, although little appears to be getting accomp-lished.
The noise of their activity is reminiscent of a
state fair or a circus. Bus drivers lean on their horns as
they try to cut their way through the wandering
animals, ox-carts and humanity. I can tell already that I
am going to enjoy myself here.
Sunday, December 20
India has a way of reducing human necessities to a
minimum. Banana leaves are used instead of plates at
mealtime. Silverware is uncommon, as one eats with
his right hand, the hand not used for cleansing one's
self. The floor of a single room provides ample space to
sleep for an entire family. Village shops have remained
small and personal, carrying only the basics of life.
It is written in Ecclesiastes that "God made man
simple; man's complex problems are of his own
devising." Though not always by choice, the people of
India have honored God's simple creation.
Tuesday, December 22
It has been three days since I have seen blond hair or
fair skin. Of the 100,000 residents of Rajapalayam, I am
the only white. Rather than identify with Stanley and
Livingston of the Dark Continent, I have tried to under-stand
what it means to live as a minority in a predomi-nantly
white country—or college. I claim no insights.
Conversations go on around me which I cannot
understand. This communication alienation has even
brought me to the point of missing small talk! As I walk
the village streets, heads turn and eyes follow me. Yes-terday
I visited a small Hindu English-speaking ele-mentary
school. The entire room of kids became silent
when I stepped in. Unacceptance of other's "strange-ness"
is, it seems, a universal problem.
Wednesday, December 23
The part of India I am in, I understand, is representa-tive
of average Indian life. Even so, I have yet to see a
World Hunger poster child or a body left rotting in the
streets. In a day's time in America I have inure people
asking for my money than I have begging for it here. I
have felt surprisingly little pity for these people. Life
here is different from the Western world, primarily by
degrees of wealth and knowledge. My Christian train-ing
tells me that human fulfillment is not conditional
on such things—they are not necessary differences for
the East to overcome.
Nevertheless, there is much here that grieves me.
Labor practices are oppressive and sanitation is unsa-tisfactory.
I have learned that broken homes and alcoh-olism
plague the majority of the population. Corruption
and black money is also a way of life, especially in the
government and in the church.
At this point, my tentative assessment is that India
needs something more than foreign aid and more mis-sion
centers. India, in my opinion, needs for its Chris-tians
to live holy,- exemplary, self-giving lives in the
midst of corruption and de-humanization. America, I
guess, could use the same.

Today is Christmas. It is not white, it is not decorated:
it is actually quite embarrassing. In the past years He
met me at my candlelight services and holiday sing-alongs.
This year I have been invited to His home: a
manger in a lean-to, dirty shelter made of mud and
straw and polluted with animal feces.
Others, educated and well fed, journey to see Him.
These wisemen gather around His manger along side
the "untouchables and the animal herders. I am sur-prised

Bethel senior known
in state for comedy
by Dona Amann
Joel Hodgson, a senior
speech-communication ma-jor
at Bethel, has been
named "The Funniest Per-son
on Any Minnesota
Campus." Hodgson recent-ly
won the Minnesota Come-dian
Competition and was
featured as a comic at the
Comedy Cabaret in Minnea-polis.
"In my act I portray a
character who never
smiles—a real dead-pan
with no emotion. All my
jokes are centered around
the character—he isn't real
flashy, and tries to create
excitement but isn't able
to," said Hodgson. "It's me
up there, but I'm just more
extreme on stage than in
real life."
His style of comedy is
not the standard stand-up
comedian routine. He des-cribes
it as avant-garde,
meaning in the art vein
that it is not standardized
at all. "It's kind of a begin-.
ning movement in comedy;
comparable to the 'new
wave' movement in music,"
said Hodgson. Hodgson's
favorite comedian, Andy
KoffMan, who is on "Sat-urday
Night Live" and
"Fridays," uses this style
of comedy.
How does Christianity
fit into Hodgson's act? "If
I'm going to do what I
want to do for the Lord,
Lundquist,
from page 1
sortium in 1971, has
served continuously on its
board of directors and for
three years was its chair-man.
He succeeds Dr. John
Dellenback, former U.S.
congressman from Oregon
and director of the Peace
Corps.
The Consortium con-sists
of 13 Christian lib-eral
arts colleges working
together to further the inte-gration
of Christian faith
and human knowledge.
Member schools are As-using
my talents, I have to
do my best," states Hodg-son.
"If I were just to do
Christian shows I wouldn't
have any challenges. Being
a comedian is just like any
other business; there are
people out there that you
come in contact with and
many of them notice the
difference Christ makes in
the -type of comedy that
you do, and they respect
you for it," he said.
Hodgson has done mag-ic
for the past eight years
and has included comedy
with his magic act. "About
six months ago I felt I'd
have to perform at a corn-pet
i ti ve level if I ever
wanted to be good," said
Hodgson. Hodgson said
he hopes to do some shows
in Chicago in February,
and later possibly in De-troit.
Pianist Dr. Thomas J.
Wegren will be featured in
a recital sponsored by the
Bethel College music depart-ment
on Friday, Jan. 15, at
8 p.m. at the Bethel Semi-nary
Chapel in Arden
Hills. The public is invit-ed.
Dr. Wegren will make
his Carnegie Hall recital
debut in February. He is
an associate professor of
piano and theory-compo-sition
at the University of
bury College (Ky.), Bethel
College (Minn.), George
Fox College (N.Y.), Ma-lone
College (Ohio), Mes-siah
College (Pa.), Seattle
Pacific University (Wash.),
Taylor University (Ind.),
Trinity College (Ill.), West-mont
College (Calif.), and
Wheaton College (Ill.).
As president of Bethel,
Lundquist has led Bethel
in an unbroken period of
expansion in becoming the
largest Protestant liberal
arts college in the Twin
Cities, the sixth largest pri-vate
college in Minnesota
and the largest Baptist
seminary in the northern
Minnesota-Duluth.
His musical studies have
been with such interna-tionally
known teachers
as Nadia Boulanger, Aaron
Copland, Alexander
Tcherepnin, and most re-cently
with Beveridge Web-ster.
In addition to numerous
concert appearances at
universities, Dr. Wegren
has performed at recep-tions
given by Governor
Quie. He will be the fea-
U.S.
In addition to his duties
at Bethel, Lundquist gives
leadership to many nation-al
Christian organizations.
He is vice-president of the
Baptist World Alliance
Commission on Education
and Evangelism, chairman
of the Fellowship of Evan-gelical
Seminary Presi-dents,
secretary of Youth
Leadership—Minnesota,
and director of the Nation-al
Association of Evangel-icals,
the World Relief Cor-poration,
the Baptist Hos-pital

Freshman Scott Thomas

as the pair each knocked

The split left Bethel at
2 - 2 in the MIAC and 6 - 5
for the season. The Royals
played a neck-to-neck
game against St. Thomas
on Tuesday, Jan. 12 at
Columbia Are.na. The
Royals reigned over the
Tommies with a 9 - 8 score
completed in overtime.
This evening, Jan. 13, the
Royals play another home
game against St. John's.
"They're a building
team, so Friday should be
a good game," said Dahl,
in assessing the upcoming
game. "We need to win
them, though, to be in the

Wrestlers place fifth
despite team's injuries
by Ross Fleming
The men's basketball
team discovered two
things after their last two
games. First, the Royals
learned that they can de-feat
St. Olaf without the
services of the leading
scorer and rebounder Ja-son
Velgersdyk. Bethel did
so by disposing of the Oles
66-56.
The second discovery
came at Macalester, where
the Royals found that they
could not beat the Scots
without Velgersdyk and
Andre LaBerge. Both
missed action due to in-juries,
and the Royals
folded 72-53.
Against St. Olaf, soph-omore
Dion Wolter picked
up the slack left by Vel-gersdyk's
absence, when
he led the Royals in scor-ing
with 18 and in re-bounding
with 10.
Added offensive fire-power
was ignited by jun-ior
guard Billy Lawson.
Lawson displayed his ver-satility
by scoring inside
the lane as well as hitting
from the perimeter. He ac-counted
for 16 points and
70 per cent shooting aver-age.
His passing resulted
in seven assists. Mike
Hanley added 10 points to
help nail down the victory.
As a team Bethel shot
42 percent from the field,
which was below their 48.3
percent through the pre-vious
ten games of the
season. Their above aver-age
free throw shooting (73
percent) was a key factor
in the win.

The Bethel Intramural
sports staff has organized
a variety of activities for
Interim. The most popular
again this year is the coed-broomball
league which
began play on Wednesday,
Jan. 6, and will continue
all through the month.
There are 48 teams partic-ipating
this winter, "the
most ever" according to
IM coordinator Phil Al-meroth.
The format for the tour-nament
has changed some-what
since last January.
Team captains had the
choice of signing up for
either "A" or "B" league
competition. Every team
als' shooting matched the
outside temperature as
they connected on only 38
percent of their shots.
Macalester countered with
62 percent from the field.
While Coach George
Palke does not like to
make excuses, he said
there is no getting around
the fact that with-out
Velgersdyk and
LaBerge it will be tough to
beat any team in the MIAC.
What Bethel lacked at Mac-alester
besides good shoot-ing,
rebounding and pass-ing
was Velgersdyk's 17.6
points and 13.2 rebounds
per game.
With Macalester's mar-gin
of victory at 19 and
rebounding edge of 28 to
Bethel's 23 (a season low),
the game would have gone
differently with a no more
than average performance
from Velgersdyk and La-
Berge.
What Bethel did have
was 12 points from
Dwayne Nordstrom and 10
points from Mike Hanley.
Dion Wolter and Billy
Lawson each had 8. The
only outside shooting came
from freshman guard Dick
Goodwin, who came off
the bench to can four
long-range field goals.
The game was closer
than the score indicated,
and the Bethel team could
have won the game with
several outstanding per-formances.
Coach Palke
substituted frequently,
trying to find the winning
ingredient, but to no avail.
Bethel's overall record
stands at 7-5. They are 1-3
in conference play.
plays 6 regular games,
then 16 A-league and 8
B-league teams advance
to the pay-offs. Playoffs
will begin the first week in
February.
Another change is that
Bethel no longer gets to
use neighborhood ice rinks
for free, so each team had
to pay a $25 fee for ice
time and lights. But turn-out
proves that broomball
will continue to be popular
at Bethel despite the costs
and the cold.

against the Concordia Cob-bers

After losing 10-5 to the
Cobbers on Friday, the

5-4 when Dick Smith slap-ped

A defense that allowed

While most college stu-dents
were relaxing at
hone with family and fri-ends,
other students from
the U.S. and Canada were
travelling by bus, plane or
car to Urbana, Illinois, for
the 13th annual student
missions convention spon-sored
by Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship.
Each day was packed
with speakers, seminars,
small-group Bible study
and prayer groups in the
dorms, missionary display
tables in the Assembly
Hall, and most of all Chris-tian
fellowship.
"Let Every Tongue Con-fess
That Jesus Christ is
Lord" was the theme and
main ideas presented by
the speakers included the
belief that every Christian
is called to serve God. The
role of the church is vital

topic "Does Christ's work

The conference is open
to all college and seminary
students, as well as inter-ested
faculty and admin-istration.
It was put to-gether
by a committee in-terested
in these issues
and in making the Bethel
community aware of them.

financially is also a calling
of God and is a very neces-sary
and important role,
said one speaker. Commit-ment
to God is not some-thing
to be taken lightly—
it demands our all—was
another key emphasis.
Although students were
instructed to get plenty of
sleep before they came
most hadn't planned on
the day beginning at 6:15
a.m. or even earlier. Eric
Alexander, pastor from a
church in Scotland, led an
exposition on the book of
Acts every morning. Other
speakers were Gordon
MacDonald who spoke on
"Sending Out The Wit-ness"
and Rebecca Manley
Pippert, author of Out of
the Salt Shaker, who
spoke about "Making Je-sus
Christ Lord Now."
"If you don't meet God
here, it isn't because he
didn't show," said one
speaker. A message on
commitment to Christ was
given by Billy Graham, af-ter
which many students
stood to publicly re-affirm
their salvation, and some
accepted Christ into their
lives for the first time.
Missionaries Helen
Roseveare, M.D., Marilyn
Lazslo and Eva den Har-tod
each gave moving ac-counts
of what God is do-ing
in their mission fields.
Their emotion packed sto-ries
stirred the crowd, and
the speakers received stand-ing
ovations.
Urbana ended with a
communion service on
New Year's Eve with
14,000 people participating
in the Lord's Supper toget-her,
praising God and re-committing
their lives to
Him.
Even waiting in lines
was not bothersome, as it
was easy to strike up a
conversation with others
during the conference.
Talking with other stu-dents
from various back-grounds
with different
talents, abilities and ex-pectations
was a highlight
of the convention for many
students.
Students had the oppor-tunity
to participate in the
conference by singing in a
special choir one evening,
or to help serve commun-ion
on the last evening of
the convention.
During one of the morn-ing
meetings in the Assem-bly
Hall, large chunks of
melting ice began to fall
from the roof. Students
were instructed to leave
through the one exit with
a canopy over it to avoid
falling ice. Although lines
were long and moving
slowly, a group of students
began singing hymns as
they filed out. Later that
evening the local news car-ried
a story about Urbana
students singing praises
as they left the Assembly
Hall.

Five days in India: Klaudt's impressions
by Kraig Klaudt
(Editor's Note: Kraig is currently spending
Interim traveling through India and study-ing
the religions of the country. This column
comes from Rajapalayam, approximately 50
miles south of Madurai in southern India.)
Saturday, December 19
My first impressions of India came a Madras,
described by my traveling companion, Nathaniel
Ratnasamy, as an "overgrown village."
The primary roads are colorfully commercialized.
Handpainted advertisements decorate every wall mak-ing
the town appear as an impoverished Disneyland.
Small, open-front shops line the street as in a carnival.
Each carries one line of merchandise, be it fabric,
grains, woodcarvings or so-called "Western" goods,
such as radios and cosmetics.
People are forever running errands or constructing
buildings, although little appears to be getting accomp-lished.
The noise of their activity is reminiscent of a
state fair or a circus. Bus drivers lean on their horns as
they try to cut their way through the wandering
animals, ox-carts and humanity. I can tell already that I
am going to enjoy myself here.
Sunday, December 20
India has a way of reducing human necessities to a
minimum. Banana leaves are used instead of plates at
mealtime. Silverware is uncommon, as one eats with
his right hand, the hand not used for cleansing one's
self. The floor of a single room provides ample space to
sleep for an entire family. Village shops have remained
small and personal, carrying only the basics of life.
It is written in Ecclesiastes that "God made man
simple; man's complex problems are of his own
devising." Though not always by choice, the people of
India have honored God's simple creation.
Tuesday, December 22
It has been three days since I have seen blond hair or
fair skin. Of the 100,000 residents of Rajapalayam, I am
the only white. Rather than identify with Stanley and
Livingston of the Dark Continent, I have tried to under-stand
what it means to live as a minority in a predomi-nantly
white country—or college. I claim no insights.
Conversations go on around me which I cannot
understand. This communication alienation has even
brought me to the point of missing small talk! As I walk
the village streets, heads turn and eyes follow me. Yes-terday
I visited a small Hindu English-speaking ele-mentary
school. The entire room of kids became silent
when I stepped in. Unacceptance of other's "strange-ness"
is, it seems, a universal problem.
Wednesday, December 23
The part of India I am in, I understand, is representa-tive
of average Indian life. Even so, I have yet to see a
World Hunger poster child or a body left rotting in the
streets. In a day's time in America I have inure people
asking for my money than I have begging for it here. I
have felt surprisingly little pity for these people. Life
here is different from the Western world, primarily by
degrees of wealth and knowledge. My Christian train-ing
tells me that human fulfillment is not conditional
on such things—they are not necessary differences for
the East to overcome.
Nevertheless, there is much here that grieves me.
Labor practices are oppressive and sanitation is unsa-tisfactory.
I have learned that broken homes and alcoh-olism
plague the majority of the population. Corruption
and black money is also a way of life, especially in the
government and in the church.
At this point, my tentative assessment is that India
needs something more than foreign aid and more mis-sion
centers. India, in my opinion, needs for its Chris-tians
to live holy,- exemplary, self-giving lives in the
midst of corruption and de-humanization. America, I
guess, could use the same.

Today is Christmas. It is not white, it is not decorated:
it is actually quite embarrassing. In the past years He
met me at my candlelight services and holiday sing-alongs.
This year I have been invited to His home: a
manger in a lean-to, dirty shelter made of mud and
straw and polluted with animal feces.
Others, educated and well fed, journey to see Him.
These wisemen gather around His manger along side
the "untouchables and the animal herders. I am sur-prised

Bethel senior known
in state for comedy
by Dona Amann
Joel Hodgson, a senior
speech-communication ma-jor
at Bethel, has been
named "The Funniest Per-son
on Any Minnesota
Campus." Hodgson recent-ly
won the Minnesota Come-dian
Competition and was
featured as a comic at the
Comedy Cabaret in Minnea-polis.
"In my act I portray a
character who never
smiles—a real dead-pan
with no emotion. All my
jokes are centered around
the character—he isn't real
flashy, and tries to create
excitement but isn't able
to," said Hodgson. "It's me
up there, but I'm just more
extreme on stage than in
real life."
His style of comedy is
not the standard stand-up
comedian routine. He des-cribes
it as avant-garde,
meaning in the art vein
that it is not standardized
at all. "It's kind of a begin-.
ning movement in comedy;
comparable to the 'new
wave' movement in music,"
said Hodgson. Hodgson's
favorite comedian, Andy
KoffMan, who is on "Sat-urday
Night Live" and
"Fridays," uses this style
of comedy.
How does Christianity
fit into Hodgson's act? "If
I'm going to do what I
want to do for the Lord,
Lundquist,
from page 1
sortium in 1971, has
served continuously on its
board of directors and for
three years was its chair-man.
He succeeds Dr. John
Dellenback, former U.S.
congressman from Oregon
and director of the Peace
Corps.
The Consortium con-sists
of 13 Christian lib-eral
arts colleges working
together to further the inte-gration
of Christian faith
and human knowledge.
Member schools are As-using
my talents, I have to
do my best," states Hodg-son.
"If I were just to do
Christian shows I wouldn't
have any challenges. Being
a comedian is just like any
other business; there are
people out there that you
come in contact with and
many of them notice the
difference Christ makes in
the -type of comedy that
you do, and they respect
you for it," he said.
Hodgson has done mag-ic
for the past eight years
and has included comedy
with his magic act. "About
six months ago I felt I'd
have to perform at a corn-pet
i ti ve level if I ever
wanted to be good," said
Hodgson. Hodgson said
he hopes to do some shows
in Chicago in February,
and later possibly in De-troit.
Pianist Dr. Thomas J.
Wegren will be featured in
a recital sponsored by the
Bethel College music depart-ment
on Friday, Jan. 15, at
8 p.m. at the Bethel Semi-nary
Chapel in Arden
Hills. The public is invit-ed.
Dr. Wegren will make
his Carnegie Hall recital
debut in February. He is
an associate professor of
piano and theory-compo-sition
at the University of
bury College (Ky.), Bethel
College (Minn.), George
Fox College (N.Y.), Ma-lone
College (Ohio), Mes-siah
College (Pa.), Seattle
Pacific University (Wash.),
Taylor University (Ind.),
Trinity College (Ill.), West-mont
College (Calif.), and
Wheaton College (Ill.).
As president of Bethel,
Lundquist has led Bethel
in an unbroken period of
expansion in becoming the
largest Protestant liberal
arts college in the Twin
Cities, the sixth largest pri-vate
college in Minnesota
and the largest Baptist
seminary in the northern
Minnesota-Duluth.
His musical studies have
been with such interna-tionally
known teachers
as Nadia Boulanger, Aaron
Copland, Alexander
Tcherepnin, and most re-cently
with Beveridge Web-ster.
In addition to numerous
concert appearances at
universities, Dr. Wegren
has performed at recep-tions
given by Governor
Quie. He will be the fea-
U.S.
In addition to his duties
at Bethel, Lundquist gives
leadership to many nation-al
Christian organizations.
He is vice-president of the
Baptist World Alliance
Commission on Education
and Evangelism, chairman
of the Fellowship of Evan-gelical
Seminary Presi-dents,
secretary of Youth
Leadership—Minnesota,
and director of the Nation-al
Association of Evangel-icals,
the World Relief Cor-poration,
the Baptist Hos-pital

Dr. Wegren is president
of the Minesota Music

Freshman Scott Thomas
and sophomore Eric Bottila
led the Bethel goal pro-duction
over the weekend
as the pair each knocked
in two goals.
The split left Bethel at
2 - 2 in the MIAC and 6 - 5
for the season. The Royals
played a neck-to-neck
game against St. Thomas
on Tuesday, Jan. 12 at
Columbia Are.na. The
Royals reigned over the
Tommies with a 9 - 8 score
completed in overtime.
This evening, Jan. 13, the
Royals play another home
game against St. John's.
"They're a building
team, so Friday should be
a good game," said Dahl,
in assessing the upcoming
game. "We need to win
them, though, to be in the
upper echelon of the lea
gue," he added.

Wrestlers place fifth
despite team's injuries
by Ross Fleming
The men's basketball
team discovered two
things after their last two
games. First, the Royals
learned that they can de-feat
St. Olaf without the
services of the leading
scorer and rebounder Ja-son
Velgersdyk. Bethel did
so by disposing of the Oles
66-56.
The second discovery
came at Macalester, where
the Royals found that they
could not beat the Scots
without Velgersdyk and
Andre LaBerge. Both
missed action due to in-juries,
and the Royals
folded 72-53.
Against St. Olaf, soph-omore
Dion Wolter picked
up the slack left by Vel-gersdyk's
absence, when
he led the Royals in scor-ing
with 18 and in re-bounding
with 10.
Added offensive fire-power
was ignited by jun-ior
guard Billy Lawson.
Lawson displayed his ver-satility
by scoring inside
the lane as well as hitting
from the perimeter. He ac-counted
for 16 points and
70 per cent shooting aver-age.
His passing resulted
in seven assists. Mike
Hanley added 10 points to
help nail down the victory.
As a team Bethel shot
42 percent from the field,
which was below their 48.3
percent through the pre-vious
ten games of the
season. Their above aver-age
free throw shooting (73
percent) was a key factor
in the win.

The Bethel Intramural
sports staff has organized
a variety of activities for
Interim. The most popular
again this year is the coed-broomball
league which
began play on Wednesday,
Jan. 6, and will continue
all through the month.
There are 48 teams partic-ipating
this winter, "the
most ever" according to
IM coordinator Phil Al-meroth.
The format for the tour-nament
has changed some-what
since last January.
Team captains had the
choice of signing up for
either "A" or "B" league
competition. Every team
als' shooting matched the
outside temperature as
they connected on only 38
percent of their shots.
Macalester countered with
62 percent from the field.
While Coach George
Palke does not like to
make excuses, he said
there is no getting around
the fact that with-out
Velgersdyk and
LaBerge it will be tough to
beat any team in the MIAC.
What Bethel lacked at Mac-alester
besides good shoot-ing,
rebounding and pass-ing
was Velgersdyk's 17.6
points and 13.2 rebounds
per game.
With Macalester's mar-gin
of victory at 19 and

differently with a no more
than average performance

Berge.
What Bethel did have
was 12 points from
Dwayne Nordstrom and 10
points from Mike Hanley.
Dion Wolter and Billy
Lawson each had 8. The
only outside shooting came
from freshman guard Dick
Goodwin, who came off
the bench to can four
long-range field goals.
The game was closer
than the score indicated,
and the Bethel team could
have won the game with
several outstanding per-formances.

Another change is that
Bethel no longer gets to
use neighborhood ice rinks
for free, so each team had
to pay a $25 fee for ice
time and lights. But turn-out
proves that broomball
will continue to be popular
at Bethel despite the costs
and the cold.

defeat the pre-vious

Royal hockey team scored
in an overtime triumph to
gain a split in their series
against the Concordia Cob-bers

played at Moorehead, Jan.
8 and 9.
After losing 10-5 to the
Cobbers on Friday, the
Royals came back to win
5-4 when Dick Smith slap-ped
in the rebound from a
Scott Dahlstrom shot. Af-ter
the Royals' perfor-mance
on Friday, the vic-tory

Craig Dahl.
"We knew we hadn't
played very well the night
before and we knew we
could play better," said
Dahl in explaining the
Royal turnaround. "So

up to 4-3 by the period's
end and tied the contest in
the third session. Fresh-man
goalie Chris Robideau
was hurt in that third
period when he took a
shot in the side of the leg.
A defense that allowed
no powerplay goals in the
series was the difference
in the second game, as the
Royals had five powerplay
goals and two shorthanded
scores over the weekend.
"The defense played
much better in the second
game and that was the
key," said Dahl, who was
